While Houston’s “stay at home” order is in effect, these long, drawn-out days at home are much more tolerable with a glass (or two) of wine to sip. Even though it isn’t possible right now to head to a restaurant and let an expert sommelier choose the perfect varietal to pour into your glass, the city’s finest wine bars are still slinging their best bottles that Houstonians can take home to sip.

Want to relax with a full-bodied Cab Franc or sit back with an aromatic Sancerre? Head to one of these 12 wine bars and restaurants for excellent bottles that will suit a variety of price points and palates.
